Overview of Mainstay Housing

Mainstay Housing is a non-profit agency which provides
housing for mental health consumer-survivors. Mainstay rents are geared
to incomes and are subsidized by the government. For those capable
of independent living, we offer 867 units in a variety of housing
options with some degree of support. We are the single largest non-profit
provider of supportive housing in Ontario with 41 residential locations
across Toronto.

Permanent housing means our tenants, who also have a say in running the
organization, have a place to call home. With a safe, affordable base
from which to grow, other life changes become possible.

Mainstay works with others to address the poverty, homelessness and stigma
experienced by people living with serious mental illness. There is a commitment
to improving the quality of life for survivors. The 15 person Board of
Directors is comprised of tenants and community representatives.
